Second Gear Crew Set For MLW Battle Riot, Moxley Coming To WresteCon, More | Fight Size Update
Here’s your fight size update for Thursday, March 23, 2023:
– The Second Gear Crew’s Mance Warner, Matthew Justice & 1 Called Manders have been added to MLW Battle Riot V:
Second Gear Crew enter Battle RIOT V
MLW returns to Philly April 8
(PHILADELPHIA) — Major League Wrestling today announced The Second Gear Crew’s Mance Warner, Matthew Justice & 1 Called Manders as participants in the 40-wrestler Battle RIOT V when MLW returns to Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena on Saturday, April 8.— Grab tickets at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office. Tickets start at $15.
Fresh off of bailing Mance Warner out of jail, Matthew Justice and the 1 Called Manders look to grab whatever isn’t nailed down and raise hell in Battle RIOT V.Collectively known as the Second Gear Crew, there may be no tougher trio in the sport. Highwaymen known for being collectively the most dangerous group of brawlers assembled in the sport.
A certified hoss, the 1 Called Manders is known for his heavy hitting style – and leaving his adversaries in a heap of wreckage. Tipping his hat as he cracks open a beer, reminding all there are two guarantees in this life: death and lariats.
Then there’s the wildcard in the deck: Matthew Justice. Immune to fear, “Thrash” isn’t afraid to dive from a balcony or spill blood to ensure maximum carnage. Thriving on dangerous situations, when Justice is in that ring extreme annihilation is likely.
Rounding out the Second Gear Crew is ol Mancer. Throwing lariats and drinking light beers, the “Southern Psychopath” is a tough as nails brawler. Violent, unrelenting, and unpredictable in and away from the ring, Mance Warner is one of the most unorthodox southern wrestlers in the sport today.
With the Second Gear Crew now officially in Battle RIOT V, an environment perfect for such a trio, could the SGC go all the way and win the RIOT?
